I completely agree that going second gives a slight advantage but disagree with hiding scores until the end of the round.
Seeing live scoring is closest thing we have to live matchups. That adds real excitement and entertainment value to the game. I love when I log in at just the right moment to see someone attacking me.
If you want a competitive advantage then you can scout your opponent and see what counters and defensive teams they tend to use. You have 24 hours to plan out your defense.
I would prefer to keep the scoring system as is. It’s part of what makes GAC fun, exciting, and frustrating all at the same time.
I couldn't agree with you more about the excitement when it is live. But the reality is it isn't. So why treat it like it is and have the system give an advantage to a players because they happen to live in the right time zone.
Scouting is an option for both players and only an advantage if your opponent chooses not to do so. I will rarely get the option to attack 2nd to receive the advantage.
In my opinion going 2nd is more than a slight advantage. When I see that my opponent has failed 2 or 3 times (or posted a low score), I immediately know I just need to 1 shot all teams to win. Or maybe my opp took 4 attempts to clear exec. My strategy now can be to send in a burner team and easily come in with a counter that has a advantage.
However, if I didn't have that information, I might try to maximize my banners and take risks and lose which in turn could cascade into an overall loss.
